Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and rub with half of the crushed garlic cloves. Rinse the lemons. Zest the lemons and squeeze out the juice. Place the thighs in a frying pan brushed with oil. Spread the lemon zest and lemon juice over the meat. Roast everything in a preheated oven at 200°C on the middle rack for about 60 minutes. In the meantime, clean the spring onions and slice them into rings. Peel the mango and cut it into wedges. Briefly sauté the garlic cloves, chili pepper, and spring onions in 1 tablespoon of hot oil. Then add the mango wedges and lemon juice. Season with thyme and sauté for a further 2 minutes. Arrange the cooked chicken thighs and mango wedges on a platter and keep warm in the oven. Bring the pan juices from the pan to a boil with 100 ml of water and dissolve the roasted ingredients. Add sugar and rum to the gravy and bring back to a boil. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks and serve immediately. Serve with baguette or rice.
